As with so many areas of our health, we've been led to believe our hormones are working in isolation from the rest of our body. They’re disconnected, and somehow hormonal imbalances magically appear.We may be experiencing gut symptoms, but can’t imagine it could possibly have anything to do with our hormonal issues.In reality, our bodies are extremely interconnected systems. Our gut impacts our hormones and our hormones impact our gut.So instead of looking at hormonal symptoms like PMS, menstrual cramps, or hormonal acne in isolation, let’s look at the gut-hormone connection and what’s at the root of your hormonal symptoms. Today we talk about:• What is the gut-hormone connection?• How hormones can impact gut function• How the gut can affect hormones• The main factors that can cause an imbalance in the gut-hormone connection• How to begin the journey back to balancing your gut and hormonesSubscribe & ReviewI’d absolutely love for you to subscribe to my podcast so you don’t miss an episode!
